No joke.  I thought I was hearing things when I heard someone mention this. So I looked it up online, and there really is a National Oatmeal Day. It’s today, Thursday, October 29.

ONE MILLION BOWLS OF OATMEAL GIVEAWAY

National Oatmeal Day is promoted by Quaker Oats, the 140 year-old American company located in Chicago, Illinois.  To celebrate the day, they’ll be giving away up to one million bowls of oatmeal throughout the country.

Aside from corporate brands, you can get oatmeal from your local health food market either packaged or bulk.  A natural, packaged brand is Bob’s Red Mill.  If you live near a Whole Foods Market, you can find oatmeal in the bulk section.
